GAMEPLAY

Mosty Palms

• The Rift Beacon at Paradise Palms has created this new POI! In addition to its swampy nature, this Rift Zone is known for being a good place to keep a low profile.

• While in the Rift Zone, crouching will disguise players as a random prop. They can exit the prop state by using the Primary Fire button.

• Players are still able to take damage while in prop form.

• ADS lets players lock in place and look around for unsuspecting victims.

Greasy Grove

• A Rift Zone has brought back Greasy Grove! But this time, Durrr Burger is out, and Tacos are in!

• Periodically, Spicy Tacos will rain down from the sky. Their smell is so overwhelmingly appetizing that players in the Zone can’t help but dance!

• While dancing, players are invulnerable to damage from others and will regenerate health at 20 HP per second.

• Dancing does not block Storm Damage or regenerate Health in the Storm.

• Spicy Tacos can be consumed for 10 Effective Health (sum of a player’s Health + Shield) and a temporary increase in movement speed (40% increase for 20 seconds).

• The Spicy Tacos don’t last long — grab them before they expire!

UI

Bug Fixes

• Sending feedback during a replay no longer causes players to get stuck in the Player Reporting or Feedback menu.

• Eliminating another player using a Junk Rift Triceratops will now indicate that they were sent to the Cretaceous period in the elimination feed.

• Previously, the elimination feed would say that they were sent to the Jurassic period, but Triceratops only existed during the Cretaceous period. We apologize for this Tyrannosaurus Wreck of an oversight.

REPLAY

• Resolved an issue in which mouse controls would not function properly in some replays.

• Going near ammo no longer causes the “Can’t hold more of this item!” message to appear when this action is shown in replays.
